Give idea, get story (now with 20% more Haggis!) - Update: Hardback cover book
 

Hi everyone, I know I haven't been here in, like, forever, but I've got something that may be of interest. Basically, you give me an idea (a subject, setting, a few lines), and I write a story for you!

If you want to get an idea of what I mean, you can find two sample stories (ideas courtesy of SilverWolfPet) here: http://bouffonbooks.com/2011/09/28/i...uffon-stories/

Enjoy, and feel free to ask for a story in this thread! :D

Immortality.
Technology.
Love.

EDIT:

Wait thats been done before.... ;D

But twould be nice to see your interpretation of it!

Wow, you really put three heavy themes together there... :)

Here's the result, I hope you like it: http://bouffonbooks.com/2011/09/28/disconnect/

Well, I do like to challenge the brain somewhat.

And you have done an excellent job! :D

Any more ideas I come up with probably won't be so heavy, but I'm sure I'll keep it interesting.

EDIT:

In fact, I have already come up with something:

- Illness
- Embarassment
- Supernatural

But if anyone else wants to have a go then feel free to do so.

EDIT 2:

Actually thats a little too easy lets throw in a prop:

- Sock puppets!

-Robots.
-Forgotten Winter Nights.
-Evil Cheese

Vanity
Evolution
Species

Darkness
Soul
Galaxy

I love how we all fixated on the 'three words' prompt, instead of better ones like 'Coolsome's Origin Story', but of course it's too amazing to be put in words.

I thought he was talking about his origin story! XD

I really like how you took that prompt and did something about familial love rather than the obvious romantic love. Nice!

Now someone turn these into adventure games.

-Kings
-Crows
-Night

Guybrush Threepwood's origin story.

(please don't make him a child in a delusional pirate fantasy.)

He was raised by Orcas, and used to see pirate ships sail past his beach as a child.
He thought it was pretty neat, and he wanted to be a pirate.

One day he got bored of eating fish and went into the local town, where he met Peg Leg Pete, who told him of island of Melee, where the Grog was fresh, and treasure was plenty.

So he "borrowed" Pete's map, snuck aboard a fishing ship, and set off on adventure! XD

- Misunderstanding
- Atheism
- Tragedy

gods
transformation
darkness

I've written four more stories. Don't worry, I'll get to the rest as well!

Awesome it had a I have no mouth and I must scream feel. :p I'm glad it had a somewhat happy end..well more happy then the dude was before

Fantastic work, you managed to go in a direction I never considered.
Very creative work, excellent stuff.

I like how you sucessfully managed to intergrate a random prop into a story,
So much so that the next challenge, (should you choose to accept it! :D) is to make a story which includes the following list of props:

List of props:

- Glass of Milk
- Rock
- ipad
- Gentleman's Magazine
- Loin Cloth
- Plasma Rifle
- Brocolli
- Hammer
- A DVD of Happy Feet

There is one logical way I have thought of including all these elements, and it would involve a short story about maybe a modern couple fighting over whether to watch TV, (a bit of channel surfing), a DVD, or to play Halo 3, which could then escelate to other petty argument, maybe even a major argument, and an eventual resolution.

However, thats too easy.

Which is why you have to also include this:

- Surrealism

(Feel free to take as much time as you like on this one. Even skipping over it if necessary. I think its a doozy! >: D)

Okay, I'll try something else too; three lines of dialogue, two props, and a basic premise/setting.

-"Well, that's what I call a difficult seal to club."
-"You cannot conquer the galaxy without the space crystal!"
-"So are you and Mark still together?"

-A revolver
-A purple balloon

-A politician announcing an affair with his mistress
